Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup raspberry jam
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and egg yolk to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together.

Step 6

Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Using your thumb or the back of a teaspoon, gently press an indentation into the center of each dough ball.

Step 8

Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry jam into each indentation.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.

Step 13

Let the glaze set before serving. Enjoy your Raspberry Dream Cookies!
